I would say don't dismiss the idea without experimenting -- it can be a great asset when trying to maintain something like a shooter wheel speed -- but it is not a simple plug-in-and-go solution. Like most new technologies, it will take time to learn how to configure and adjust it... but it definitely has advantages.

For
shooter wheel speed control, consider using
this instead of PID.
The math isn't that hard. It's just a tool, like a screwdriver or soldering iron. Sure you get tired of picking up the same old thing everyday, but when you have to tighten a screw you still reach for the screwdriver. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]
